Description
Morphology
The mouth gives way to a gallery one metre wide that descends on a slope, which after travelling 7 metres bifurcates; after a small vertical drop, it continues wider but with a much lower ceiling, with a slope of 45º until it cuts perpendicularly another gallery 21 metres long and 1 metre wide, located 4 metres from the floor.
History
Explored by the youthful members (13-14 years old) of the GIEM de Montblanc during the year 1966, who helped by a simple plastic rope of the time, descended the cavity several times during that year; on one of these entries they discovered some interesting bone remains.
